Minidisc State of the Union

[darrencouch]

So, I've read that ATRAC has been abandoned, no more new models, etc etc. So what does it all mean for us and our Minidiscs?

Are they still making blanks, MD and HiMD? Any hardware planned to be released ever again, either consumer or pro?

I was hoping anyone in the "know" could post up the latest dirt fit to dish about MD and the end of 2008.

[Strungup]

Blanks will be available for awhile at least here in Japan , and I am setting up Paypal just for that purpose , so I can send stuff to MD'ers

but several stores here , all the MD's are stuck with 50% off stickers at the moment , so that will tell you were it is at , there will still be a Supply in Akihabara , for all the Tourists , ( Lot of MD's there , but expensive )

otherwise , the clock is in fact winding down

Once you have your PayPal account set up, can you possibly hook me up with some RM-MC35ELK remotes (both in Silver [for my Silver HD5] and in Black [for my Black RH1]), as included with the RH1 over in Japan? I happen to like the ELK series of remotes (I already own some 40ELK and 55ELK remotes) better than the EL series (except for use with my D-NE700 PCDP Walkman), especially for MD/Hi-MD/HDD use.

my Paypal is up , and I have to work around the Unverified limit of Withdrawals to my Bank this month I am already at the limit from just two transactions , which are now in process

RM-MC35ELK 1 Black & 1 Silver = will do

I will PM you when I am ready ( Without the Boxes they come in , I can pack them MUCH smaller and save shipping )

oh and here is an adventurous read for you BIGGie
